MY THOUGHTS 0:20 Zenobia your shirt 4:44 People forget that in the 1970s in the north east, some schools had the last of governmentally funded activities. 7:27 And the USA has continually asked Cuba to let them take Assata Shakur from in Cuba. And Assata Shakur still has a warrant for her. 8:29 yes, Billy Holiday 10:18 Tupac is a real life example of a child growing up in an environment like :Night Catches Us Black kids growing up in Black Panther homes in Black communities in the 1970s is a huge dichotomy. The Black Panthers had great successes but were hammered all the time by white organizations , governmentally or private. In the…

In 2004, when social networking sites were still pure at heart, there was the website Africanfrontdotcom - and one of the pages listed African history dating back to 40,000,000 BCE. My calling is to gather information, and I immediately copied this timeline from the website because of my preference. Now, of course, due to the colonization of many African nations, other cultures appropriated much of African history. So I use this info is a reference point for fact-checking and inclusion. This morning, I thought about the chronological timeline I possessed when a famous writer in The Atlantic attributed "Know Thy Self" to the Greeks and not African philosophy. Anyway, my…

Have you noticed in the media lately, there's a huge push to NOW all of a sudden call bi-racial people "Black"? If you haven't, pay attention. Ofcourse during slavery for the most part anybody with known Black ancestry was considered "Black" in the U.S. according to the one drop rule; but in the RECENT past...like most AfroAmericans accepted mixed people as Black....most Whites would make it a point to call bi-racial people BI-RACIAL or refer to their ethnicity as African Americans more so than their race which would be more controversial. But now all of a sudden that's changing. Now in the news as well as the entertainment media, more and more bi-racial peo…

Please explain to me how brotha Jordan Neely was executed by strangulation on a subway train at the hands of a white guy. I find it hard to believe there were no AfroAmerican men on the train. If AfroAmerican men were on the train, why didn't they intervene and save Jordan Neely's life. The AfroAmerican District Attorney took his time bringing charges against the murderer. AfroAmerican elected leaders haven't shown any outrage. AfroAmerican people are silent. Every time one of these white folks kills a black person it sends a message to the rest of them that they can get away with murder. Black folks need to get…

815 people died in public spaces in New York City in the year 2023, the largest in NYC's attempts to record. It isn't the largest in the city's history. I am 100% certain higher numbers did that in decades past. Comprehend that NYC has only recently started to count such things. As with all things, the quality of leadership is the issue.

This will probably be my last post for this forum. The title is not a statement of me being ultra hotep or black nationalist. It is just a fact. Unless there is an event in the next 100 years or so that causes a catastrophic loss of life such as nuclear WWIII or the second coming of Jesus Christ (which both are very possible), black people will be in the majority on planet earth. Why do I say this? Humanity's population in general is decreasing, but this is particularly true of non-black races. …

Deja Taylor, Mother of 6-Year Old School Teacher Shooter in Virginia, is Charged This case is heated! I believe that this case will cause a lot of controversy! I know that I have so many questions that concern me. My first thoughts are that, as a school teacher myself, how should I feel if the law does not offer the teacher adequate relief? She was shot by a kid and she could be dead right now! He shot her in her abdomen! What about other young school shooters such as the Parkland Shooter, was his mother charged? The videos that show the mother, Deja Taylor's comments, only makes me more shocked! She …

RIP Harry Belafonte! Harry Belafonte, 96, Dies; Barrier-Breaking Singer, Actor and Activist In the 1950s, when segregation was still widespread, his ascent to the upper echelon of show business was historic.

Every time i get an external reply of quality to the following post i reposted elsewhere I will add, the reply is after the forum link below The reply I don't see leadership on a broad scale, as far as movements comparable to those of the past. As far as which movements have the most disciples in modern day, I don't think there's a right answer for that. People are likely influenced by a combination of theories or ideals from each. If we're talking activism, I think it has been resigned to social media. A lot of talk and outrage for the internet, but no mobility. my reply @MissArquay hmmm You pose four great questions in my mind. At least…

“At IBPA PubU, Black Indie Publishers Call for Audacity and Advocacy“ and an article from Publishers Weekly about our panel from this weekend in San Diego. In my opinion, the best quote from the article was: Everyone on the panel “came out of the struggle” for civil rights, said Coates, who opened Black Classic Press in 1978. “Wade as a young man was involved in the Civil Rights Movement in Louisiana. Haki is still one of the foundational members of the Black Lives Movement. Kassahun was with the Eritrean Liberation Front. Myself with the Black Panther Party. These are people who carried the struggle forward and had it bloom in publishing.” …

As thousands of migrants prepare to storm the country's southern border, they will definitely vie for scarce housing, medical and educational resources with Black Americans. To believe otherwise is foolish. Shelters, even emergency ones, are already jam packed, New York City and Chicago's Mayors said. So, millions will be spent housing migrants in hotels. In New York, city workers are being asked to work overtime and special pay has been earmarked for those who speak Spanish. Despite contending with two recent horrible mass shootings, Texas Governor Gregg Abbott just cannot stop attacking Latino migrants. Neither can Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. “The cart…

My reasoning is simple. I find in AALBc, we debate on the black community, but we often escape what the black community is in the usa or eslewhere, not what we want it to be, or what it was. If most black leaders in the usa are of a certain philosophy then if your desire doesn't fit that you will find little advance or support to that idea among black leadership and i think that is a true problem. Not completely, because all it means is that you have to find or make a smaller black community in the usa or elsewhere. It isn't a grand problem. But, many black people in the USA or elsewhere tend to communicate plans for the whole village, not the section of likeminded black …

2:30 it's funny how being a single parent like any adult comes in all forms. Zenobia, the question is do you think using an uncommon form of single parenting is unwarranted or just not your artistic cup of tea? 4:34 Claudine is old enough to be before women had the 2023 levels of freedom from male domination , yes I am a man. But Nike, women globally are still commonly in Claudine's situation. It's funny how in the usa, the rules in the usa are nonchalantly applied to the global humanity, when you said something similar too, this was when women couldn't have a bank account. 7:20 The question is, did the kids too easily or quickly accept James Earl Jones new pa…

This video breaks down in simplistic terms why as much as they complain about Black people, can't stand to live any considerable distance apart from us: Do any of you remember me making the same points as in this video, over the years?

MY COMMENT The black people of Lowndes county not Black Alabamians. The USA's media, white or black or other , love's grandiosing every single positive thing don't they. One county in Alabama is getting a little help from the Biden Administration for environmental needs and that is deemed justice. I love how in the usa, dead people can gain justice for the crimes applied to them by whites. A truly historic day will be when most Black people in the USA or one of its states actually gain something positive. From MArijuana in NYC to Alabama Septic systems, a few Black people are getting and these things are being touted by whites or blacks like the gateway t the spirit…

The following was excerpted from "African Writing Systems – Where Do We Go From Here?" by Amenuti Narmer. I discovered this article in the Blacknificent Life Newsletter, which you may subscribe to here. You can learn about these two sites and hundreds of more Black owned sites here. Ancient Africa has the world’s oldest and largest collection of ancient writing systems. Evidence of such dates to pre-historic time, and can be found in various regions of the continent. By contrast, continental Europe’s oldest writing, Greek, was not fully in use until c. 1400 BC (a clay tablet found in Iklaina, Greece) and is largely derived from an older African sc…

What in the World is Going on In SUDAN! Should we as African Americans and Americans, in general, be concerned? Even though I was completely captivated about the celestial wonders going on in the middle of the month of April 2023, however, I was amazed at what I was hearing and reading about the conlfict in Sudan too, but at first, I didn't believe it was significant. I initially heard casual reports about many European and American officials being rushed out of Sudan and flown safely back to their European countries of origins but then, the news reports continued until finally, they became reported as NEWSBREAKS! Subconciously, I so…

Brother frankster, in another thread you mentioned the "Watchers": Would you like to know the TRUTH about who these Watchers actually were? They were BLACK MEN....soldiers stationed to the area of and around the Caucasus Mountain range and the Black Sea. They were assigned to keep the Caucasians from escaping and coming back into our civilizations. Some of them saw the Caucasian women as attractive and had sex with them producing mixed offspring. This is where you get the "sons of god mixing with the daughters of man" in Genesis btw.... You'll find that the Book of Enoch....like most so-called "scriptures" that pass throu…

"Last year was a banner year for those trading the New York chill for the Florida sun. Thirty-nine percent of Empire Staters packed up and moved to the Sunshine State, more than any year in history. In fact, recent census data revealed 1.6 million former New Yorkers (or 8% of Florida’s total population) now call Florida home — and it’s not just retirees. Favorable tax policies are fueling Florida’s popularity, attracting top businesses, budding entrepreneurs, and so-called one-percenters, such as Donald Trump and Carl Icahn. Does that mean Florida is a better bet? Those who argue “yes” say New Yorkers are heading south where their money can last longer, their health can b…

"The idea that prisons could reform or rehabilitate is only around 200 years old." During reconstruction and into the present day the use of inmates to do the work for businesses is the most blatant form of the exploitation of the prison system -- comparable to slavery. This video lends credence to the notion that jails are built to make money and Black people, due to a racist system, are disproportionately incarcerated. Today the prisons themselves are the profit centers. Hence the dramatic increase in the number of Americans incarcerated. The recidivism and collateral damage on Black families, communities, and Black people, in g…

25 years ago, I was a photojournalist for a new station. I remember listening to the scanner and hearing crimes committed outside of the city limits that were too far for the new station to consider pursuing. They were in rural areas that were predominantly white. But on that same scanner, we would hear crimes that were committed a couple of miles from the station and easier to get to that were in black neighborhoods. I noticed a pattern, the news portrayed black communities as being more crime ridden then other areas that per capita had just as many crimes that didn't make the news. Was this done on purpose or was it too far to drive? Probably a little of both. …

But rather say many AMERICAN WOMEN like thugs and gangsters. It's been my observation and experience that most women I've met from from other cultures DO NOT find extremely violent and criminal minded men attractive or sexy. They tend to avoid them and see them as part of the social underclass.

... over a week ago, I was in a location where Automated Teller Machines exist and a Black woman, I think Descended Of Enslaved, suggested I needed to be careful. She continued while I merely looked and said, she was in said ATM locale earlier and homeless people were in the place. She felt fear and called law enforcement. I said nothing to her, and just left. But I pondered a few questions. Did said homeless people attack her? Did said Homeless people approach her? Did said homeless people speak to her? She defined her experience. She didn't say she was harmed or approached in any way. She said, using my word choice, she came into the…

Black Couples & Conflict Resolution I think that some of these skits on social media can be more helpful then spending a lot of money going to a therapist sometimes. Due to technology and this type of media explosion, some of these skits published by talented Black people seems to me to be common issues that many of us have had to deal with in our cultures. This first skit reminds me of my own relationship with my boyfriend many years ago, and of whom is now my husband. He threw every trick in the book to try and not commit and this skit just cracks me up and reminds me of this time. I refused to move in to his apartment. I gathered up my things and left..…

Her name was Tituba, and her American story is rarely told in history books.
